so cool. you know what sucks most about this? that girl who decided she didn’t want to be friends with Elle because of her religion most likely got to that point because of some influencial adult in her life. we are all born tolerant of one other – but oh how quickly someone comes along and messes that up.

I’m super-lucky to have met Elle in real life and I love seeing that her video personality matches her personality in real life. Sharp. Bright. Optimistic. Fun. She’s not a stage-kid who turns it on for the cameras — like some bad TLC show.

You know what else I love? I love is that Elle has 19 other friends.

I actually feel badly for Elle’s ex-friend. What girl in first grade actually understands religion? What kind of parenting is involved? What happens to a girl like that when she gets a little older?

Sad.

Sean, I’m very lucky that my kids provide me not just entertainment, but a learning channel for myself. Thank you for your comment. I get a big kick out of doing these videos and I know Elle does, too. I’m always amazed at what she comes up with.

Hi Jason,

I really enjoy these posts you do with Elle. She is a bright little girl, and the ways you bring out her insights and expand on them is always powerful and thought-provoking. Thanks for sharing this.

Frank, how often do you see people suffer simply because they can’t walk away? Closure is an addition… and one worth breaking!

Elle is wise. She understands prejudice and how that girl was “mean to her friends.” I like to call people on their BS, but often I just get them out of my life. They’re not likely to change — and since I have a limited time, I go with cultivating friendships with people who matter and who are positive.

Sad to think that Elle has to face that kind of stuff in first grade. We’re not as advanced as we think, are we?
